[Antennas] balanced ant tuner question

Buy 2 identical tuners (eg MFJ986) and a *stout* balun of your choice. Put 
the VSWR meter at the balun input and feed each tuner with one of the balun 
outputs. Connect load between tuner outputs, and tune bedsprings to 
whatever to your heart's content. As you get more experienced, it'll get 
easier to do with only two hands ;o)

Subject: [Antennas] balanced ant tuner question
I'd like to go to Rich Measures Double Balanced tuner for my ladderline fed 
dipole.
However, I'm not sure how to know what is going on with it, as the circuit 
doesn't have an SWR meter (can't really, as the circuit inside the box is 
balanced).
Maybe dual RF ammeters on the output and tune for max out?
Or, an SWR meter between the rig and tuner.
What's the best way to go here?
